He is also good with other dogs. He would love a fenced in yard and to go hiking or running.  He is well behaved and is housebroke and crate trained. If you are interested, complete the  Adoption Application  on our website at  www.NeedyPaws.org  and we will contact you.  Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO.

Story
Sherman is a big love at 90 lbs and a rescue favorite! He is housebroken, easy going, loves walks, plays with toys and cuddles. He is an all-around great dog looking for a chill household to enjoy his golden years in. As most GSD he has hip dysplasia in left hip and this has caused some right front leg arthritis but with his supplements and pain meds that doesn't stop him from having a good time. He currently is getting monthly injections for pain which is the cheaper route. He is good with dogs but would prefer to be the one and only as he only has eyes for his people.  Poor Sherman was surrendered by family members when his mom got dementia and fell and hurt herself. He laid by her bed and was protective of her and the family felt it best to rehome him. His crime was loving her too much and being a German Shepherd!  If you can handle being loved that much, apply today! If you are interested in meeting Sherman, complete the Adoption Application on our website at www.NeedyPaws.org and we will contact you. Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Sherman ’s adoption fee is $275.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.

Story
Meet Seren Sadie a medium sized girl with a beautiful reddish coat. She is dog friendly and would love to have a dog friend in her new home. Sadie has not been cat tested, so not sure how she would do with cats. SHe would do great with older considerate kids.   Sadie has medium energy. She likes being outside, but wants her person to be outside with her. Sadie also enjoys walks, and does walk well with a harness.   House and crate trained. She prefers being crated at night near her people. If you would allow her to sleep with you even better.   Sadie rides quietly in the car. Sadie does have some stranger danger, and is leery around new people at first. She does best when visitors just ignore her and let her come to them on her terms. She does bark at new people and sounds, so may not do well in a apartment setting    Sadie is a really sweet dog but needs someone who will be patient with her and give her time to trust her new family. Once Sadie is comfortable with you, she will be your shadow. She is not much of a snugglier, but does like to be near you. Sadie really likes chicken as a treat, which can be used to build trust. With time and treats Sadie will be the perfect companion!     If you are interested, complete the  Adoption Application  on our website at  www.NeedyPaws.org  and we will contact you.  Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Seren Sadie’s adoption fee is $275.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.

WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Yogi - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Yogi is with a neighboring rescue that is having a family emergency. If you would like to adopt Yogi, we will pull him into our rescue to complete the adoption. Yogi is a handsome 8 month German Shepherd who weighs approximately 40 pounds. Yogi came to them from a rural shelter with what they thought were new leg injuries from being hit by a car. After xrays, it was determined his broken front and back leg were actually old injuries that had completely healed unfixed by his previous owners. The pain he must have been in as a young pup is heartbreaking. They did an FHO to fix his back hip, but his front leg has a definite 90 degree angle. He is not painful at all and can run and play still. The surgeons recommended for them to amputate his front leg but he he actually uses it so they said no. Yogi is extremely affectionate with people both tall and small and also with the other foster pups. Although cats are unknown at this time. Yogi is an happy active boy with a moderate energy level that still enjoys running, playing and adventures even all that he's been through. He is also housetrained so he's ready to get to all the fun stuff!! This incredible boy is ready for a loving family of his very own. One with kind words, gentle pets and some fun filled adventures...could it possibly be with YOU?!!!

Story
My name is Raven! Can you guess why?! If you think it's because my beautiful black coat and tan mussel you are correct! I love to play and snuggle with my foster brother! I'm crate and potty trained, quickly learning the leash skills, just polishing them up right now. I can play independently, but would definitely enjoy a furry sibling. I'm a little shy at first in new environments and with new people. A little bit of how someone tiny like me ended up as single pup in a rescue... sadly I was found on the side of the road by my deceased mom. I was super scared, confused and skinny, but still healthy and happy after a few days of love, yummy food, and reminders from my fur foster brother that "everything is going to be okay yes, he really did tell me that! If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the adoption application below! Do note, I'm located in San Antonio, TX. My out of state adoption fee includes the transport cost and health certificate. All vetting is included to age, including vaccinations, microchip, neuter/spay and prevention meds! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NAF/Dog
